Why this:
shutdown -r now
         # (make sure the system comes up)
         shutdown -r now
         # (come up in single-user mode this time)

Rather than this?
Drop to single user mode: 
    # shutdown +10 "ALERT Upgrading the OS. Please log off now."
    # reboot
    # hit spacebar at timer notice to stop boot
    # boot -s
    # fsck -p
    # mount -u /
    # mount -a -t ufs
    # swapon -a
